Summer seasonal tyres have great handling and grip on both wet and dry roads, functioning best above 7°C. Here’s why you should buy summer tyres:

• They are optimised for high performance in summer weather – look out for Interlocking System 3D Bubble Blade technology.
• They are ultra-responsive, improving steering for hard cornering – look out for Motorsport Derived Construction technology.
• They contain softer rubber compounds to help with handling for twists and turns at speed.
• Active Braking Technology helps with faster stopping in both wet and dry conditions.

Top Dunlop summer tyres, and why you need them

When the temperature begins regularly tipping above 10°C, you no longer need winter tyres. Your vehicle will perform better all-round on both wet and dry asphalt if you have a good set of summer tyres, and the Dunlop range is solid. The tyre that generally tops the reviews is the Sport Maxx Race tyre, noted for its exceptional dry grip on all surfaces. For people not driving a sports car, the SP Quattromaxx offers a great drive and supreme precision.

Other recommendations from the Dunlop summer tyres range

City cars perform brilliantly with the SP StreetResponse and StreetResponse 2 tyres. They offer great wet and dry performance, and also fuel efficiency that will be particularly helpful for the daily commute. If economical driving is your priority, the Econodrive is your absolute best bet. The Grandtrek AT3 is an exemplary all-terrain option, for those who like a little adventure in their car.

The best decision

If you live in a place where the winters tend to be harsh, chances are you already have a set of winter tyres. Summer tyres are equally important, however, and when temperatures begin to climb you’ll be glad to have the performance benefits they offer. Know your priorities, and choose your Dunlop summer tyres based on how the features they offer will serve you.
